2025 Must Haves for Your Pro Makeup Kit!

2025 Must-Haves for Your Pro Makeup Kit!

This post is all about my must-have pieces to add to your pro kit for 2025!

There have been so many product launches over the past couple of years, it’s hard to know what to add and what to skip in your makeup kit. As a makeup artist and beauty lover, I am always trying new launches to see if there are better alternatives to add to my kit for my clients. I love finding better formulas, more color options, and fun new pieces to add!

The one launch I was so excited to get my hands on this year was the new Charlotte Tilbury 9 pan eyeshadow palettes! These were designed for makeup artists! They are a makeup artist’s dream. The colors and formulas are just perfection. There is a palette for any color request! They are all you need for your makeup kit. I have a blog post I will share here with all the palettes so you can see up close what they look like!

The second product I am adding to my pro kit this year is the Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Foundation! It is a gorgeous, creamy, medium coverage foundation. This formula is stunning on normal to dry skin. It is a perfect foundation for bridal.

I picked up a new Dior BACKSTAGE Glow Face Palette. This is a lovely highlighter, blush topper, and eyeshadow topper. This palette is good for every skin type and has so so many uses. This is a makeup artist must have. I have a post just about this palette I will link here <3 

The Houglass Ambient Lighting Palettes have been makeup artists’ favorites for years. I picked up a new one during the last launch to add to my 2025 bridal season! They come out with new palettes every year, and they are all gorgeous. The formulas are great for photo and videography!

Persona Cosmetics has come out with some new gorgeous blush shades that I was so excited to get my hands on – The DreamStick Cream Blush. This formula is so creamy and blendable. I love all these cheek colors for bridal. They are a range of bright and neutral shades, they bring so much life to the cheek without being overbearing. love love love this product!

A few other products I have been testing out and loving are the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Wands ( I picked up Pinkgasm, Peachgasm, and Spotlight). These are not new by any means, but they are new to me! I am also adding the Rhode Peptide Lip Tints, these are super popular right now and for good reason. These are super hydrating with great color payoff. The Violette FR BISOU BALM Sheer Matte Lipsticks are a current FAVORITE! They are brand new to Sephora this year, and I am so so excited to finally have them available in the US! The formula is so unique, they are matte, a beautiful satin finish on the lips. They create a gorgeous stained lip effect, they are just perfection. The Lisa Eldridge Rouge Experience Lipsticks have been my go-to for every day. They have a gorgeous hydrating formula, and the colors are beautiful. Lastly, I am adding the new Armani Beauty Bronzer! This formula is stunning!!! 

Have you girls tried any of these? I am so excited to add these and play with all the new color!
